BENEFITS

• NAD+ is a vital molecule found in all living organisms, from simple bacteria to complex humans, and is often referred to as the “anti-aging molecule” by scientists due to its essential role in cellular health. It helps preserve DNA integrity and supports healthy cell metabolism, making it crucial for overall well-being and longevity. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is a coenzyme that plays a key role in mitochondrial function, the powerhouses of our cells. It assists in processes like digestion, cell development, and energy metabolism. Discovered in 1906 by William John Young and Sir Arthur Harden, NAD+ exists in two forms: oxidized NAD+ and reduced NADH. These forms work together in a redox reaction—NADH loses an electron (oxidation) while NAD+ gains one (reduction). This process helps generate ATP, the energy molecule, within the mitochondria. As NADH loses an electron, it converts back to NAD+, continuing the cycle and ensuring ongoing energy production.
• Role of NAD+ in the body: Due to its ability to bind to and stimulate the activity of other enzymes, NAD+ is classified as a “helper molecule.” Involved in nearly 500 enzymatic events, this potent molecule helps the body stay healthy and functional by supporting the following processes.
• Reduces Genomic Instability: occurs when our DNA sustains damage and is unable to be repaired. It is proposed as one of the causes of accelerated aging and plays a key role in genetic mutations or cancer development. NAD+ plays a vital role in decreasing the occurrence of genomic instability by aiding in damaged DNA repair and also fixing faults made during replication. This crucial role allows efficient transmission of genetic information from one generation to the next via germline cells.
• Inflammation and Immunity Research has shown that NAD+ levels in the body are directly related to the intensity and duration of an immunological response to infection. During an infection, macrophages benefit from elevated levels of NAD+ because it enhances their ability to neutralize the invading pathogen.
• Crucial in Energy Metabolism Human cells need energy and if NAD+ levels are low, the body’s ability to make and use energy is hindered. The reactions (Glycolysis, Krebs cycle, oxidative phosphorylation, and fatty acid oxidation) by which the body produces and utilizes energy all depend on NAD+ and low amounts of this cofactor interferes with energy metabolism.
• Improves depression, anxiety & PTSD symptoms NAD+ therapy effectively improves symptoms of depression, anxiety, and PTSD. When someone feels worried or depressed, IV NAD+ therapy can help them produce normal levels of “feel-good” neurochemicals in the brain. NAD+ aids in generating mood-regulating neurotransmitters like serotonin, enhancing mood and reducing depressive and anxious feelings. Unlike traditional PTSD treatments, which often involve cognitive behavioral therapy and medication, NAD therapy targets healing at the cellular level. This cutting-edge treatment repairs damaged cells, promotes healthy cellular function, reduces inflammation, and enhances brain function. By addressing these fundamental aspects, NAD therapy promotes overall healing and effectively treats co-occurring conditions like depression and anxiety often associated with PTSD.
• Cardiovascular Function Due to its continual contraction and expansion, the heart is the body’s most metabolically active organ. Heart metabolic activity must be kept at a healthy state at all times, and studies have shown that appropriate levels of NAD+ are crucial in maintaining healthy levels and healing after a severe heart disease.
• Improves Renal Function It is widely known that renal function declines with age and diminishing NAD+ levels may have a part to play. Studies have shown that supplementing with NAD+ can help reduce the risk of acute renal damage by triggering the production of prostaglandin E2. This prostaglandin E2 production aids in repair of kidney damage and improves renal function.
• Crucial in Liver Function Maintaining healthy levels of NAD+ in the body is crucial for the liver to do its job properly. Several studies suggest supplementing with NAD+ can improve liver function, protect it against toxic diseases, and speed up recovery after hepatic damage.
• Important in the Circadian Rhythm The circadian clock controls the sleep-wake cycle, called the biological clock or the circadian rhythm. The body’s internal clock facilitates adaptation to seasonal or diurnal changes. Studies show that NAD+ levels in cells determine circadian clock precision and performance. Also, according to studies, sleepiness during the day, insomnia at night, hormone disruptions, and mental state changes are some potential side effects of a deficit of NAD+.
• Improves Neurological Function Maintaining enough NAD+ levels is crucial for the health and survival of brain cells. This was reinforced by studies that showed that after a severe neurological event, NAD+ was important in regenerating the brain’s neurons. NAD+ decreases the progression of neurodegenerative disorders by enhancing the body’s natural capacity to repair damaged cells. If NAD+ levels are increased, it leads to the accumulation of proteins that help with cellular communication and improved cognitive function.
• NAD+ is generally safely recommended for everyone and can provide great results. If this is your first time receiving NAD+ or if you haven’t received a treatment in awhile the general recommended protocol
• Initial Treatments: 2,000 mg total broken up into 4 sessions of 500 mg each. Each session takes on average 2 hours for infusion. The first 4 sessions should be completed within 7-10 days.
• Follow Up Treatments: Once the initial protocol is complete the frequency and dosage of your follow up infusions will depend on lifestyle factors and goals of treatment. The most common frequencies of treatment once protocol has completed is bi-weekly.
• Exceptions: Some may not tolerate infusions as well as others, or may need to follow a protocol at slower rate and frequency. Patients over the age of 65 may be required to receive approval from their primary care physician or specialty doctor, depending on medical history.
• How soon will I start to notice Benefits? Results may vary from immediately after your 1st infusion to after your 4th. Many notice the largest difference after their last infusion of their protocol.
